I lost my original Gizmo a few months ago. Never had any problems with it. I purchased another one as a replacement. Was using the new one in camp on a trip. Had fresh batteries in the unit.
While sitting around camp with the light set to the dimmest setting, the light turned off. I went to turn it back on and it would flash, but wouldn't turn back on.
After a few minutes, I tried the unit again. It would turn on but only for five or six minutes.
I contacted Black Diamond regarding what the headlamp was doing. They confirmed that the unit should not be turning itself off. I was asked to send that unit to them so they could examine it.
I purchased another one while they had the unit in question. Thinking it was a faulty headlamp.
Just last night while on an overnight trip to the Smokies, the headlamp I just purchased starting doing the same thing.
Any headlamp I have used previously would always dim until no longer have usable light. Not just turn off. Seems very weird to me.
Has anyone else had a similar experience like this with a Gizmo or another headlamp?
